Transdermal Electrolyte Replacement
Quote | Reply
Curious to hear some of the nutrition experts thoughts on this topic.

Specifically, if these products do work, what is the impact on nutrition/ fluid intake and absorption rates during a race?
If using a transdermal patch should one forgo intake of additional electrolytes or are they still vital for digestion/ absorption?

Thanks for posting. If it works, it'll be banned. If it's not banned, it doesn't work. If it gets banned, it still might not work. If there are links to product claims and/or literature, I'd love to take a look.

Fair warning: I have no filter when it comes to truth-telling.

This is the one I came across.
Very little actual info, but very interesting concept.

Why do you suppose something along these lines would be banned?

NGB's are infamous for banning lots of things they don't like. (See: virtual aero bars riding position)

Said better than I could. → "On brand. If they can't understan' it they ban it."

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

My BS-o-meter pegs when marketing copy for nutrition companies includes the word 'wellness.'

But I defer to Alex's BS-o-meter.
